Summary:

Nestled among central New York's rolling green hills, the Village of Clinton and Town of Kirkland attracted the attention of early Revolutionary War soldiers, who ventured into heavily forested lands with rich soil and many creeks and rivers. A group of eight families, led by Capt. Moses Foote, settled in Clinton in 1787. The economy of the area, which included Clinton, Clark Mills, Kirkland (Manchester), Franklin Springs, and Chuckery, was vibrant with agriculture, iron mining, world-class mineral waters, a textile industry, and numerous educational institutions, which drew many residents and further expanded the communities. The community's early interest in and recognition of scholarly pursuits and its 62 schools earned it the name "Schooltown." Today, it is known for its village green and historic sites. Clinton and the Town of Kirkland showcases the rich heritage and town pride that continues to make these communities an attractive and desirable place to live.
